IRVINE, CA, July 21, 2014 – EON Reality Inc., the world’s leading provider of Virtual Reality software, systems, and applications, announced the launch of the EON Developer Program (EDP) to spark Virtual Reality innovation through partnership with leading research institutions and universities. These innovations will strengthen not just EON Reality’s products, but will simplify the creation of Virtual Reality content.

The program offers a complete set of technical resources, support, and software necessary for the development of cutting edge applications and technology for the Virtual Reality ecosystem. Additionally, EON Reality will provide real world technical insight on how we’re currently solving issues in industry.

“By engaging with the best R&D institutions and experts, we are hoping to not only fast-track our own development process, but also to continue to advance Virtual Reality technology,” said Mats Johansson, CEO and President of EON Reality. “EON Reality wants to empower the next generation of artists, innovators, and entrepreneurs to make Virtual Reality their canvas by democratizing the creation of Virtual Reality content.”

By attacking areas of great need in the Virtual Reality space, EON Reality and its partner universities are hoping to throw open the doors to Virtual Reality development and enable more people to create VR based content. EON Reality, through the global Interactive Digital Center network, will disseminate the technological improvements globally with the research members receiving royalties for their work.

“Through my time at both UC Merced and EON Reality, I’ve seen how Virtual Reality has impacted people’s lives,” said David Huang Ph.D.former University of California, Merced doctoral student and now Lead R&D Engineer at EON Reality. “If we can make Virtual Reality as simple as posting to social media or taking a photo, think of how many more lives we can impact.”
